Welcome to the KJ Blog! I’m Katelyn James, and my husband Michael and I are a VA wedding photography team based in Richmond, Virginia. We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life! I’m thrilled you stopped by!

shooting, I mentioned how Rita was the one who convinced me to tryout for Volleyball in Middle School…. and then I quickly added that it became painfully obvious that volleyball was not “my thing” after a few games. That’s when I thought my friendship with Rita started but she reminded me that we actually went to PRESCHOOL together!! We first met at the “Little School at the Grove” as toddlers! Who would have thought that we would grow up and I would be photographing her wedding?! It’s such a small, wonderful world and I loved every minute of my time with these two.

Blake and Rita met me at the firehouse and it was the perfect place to start their shoot! Blake is a fire fighter and I love that they decided to shoot on locations that really represent who they are. To say these two are fun would be an understatement. I’m so thrilled to be a part of their wedding day and I’m excited to share their engagement shoot today!! So happy Black Friday and to all of you crazies out there trying to make it through the crowds, I wish you patience and great sales. :) Congrats to Rita and Blake!! Thanks for being AWESOME!!! Enjoy your post!!

Wonderful job Katelyn!! Looking at these after having done your workshop, I’m seeing your photos with a new set of eyes. I now know how you got what you did and can almost hear you telling them what to do. Awesome!!
